The Blue Jin Bakery Offers Matcha and Charcoal Loaves

After successfully introducing its popular cat-shaped loaves of bread, the Blue Jin bakery decided to create a series of feline-inspired breads, including a green matcha and black charcoal iteration.

These playful treats are as appealing to the eyes as they are to the taste buds, reminding diners that food can be a multi-sensory experience. The matcha iteration includes matcha green tea, chestnuts, and sweet red beans, producing a beautiful blend of sweet and bitter flavors. The black iteration achieves its unique coloring from bamboo charcoal, and is the only cat-shaped loaf at the bakery that comes complete with decorations forming eyes, a nose, and cute whiskers.

The cat-shaped loaves of bread are created at the Blue Jin Bakery in Osaka, Japan.
